Pain's Possible True Identity?

The only thing that is really not associated with all the other images in that picture are the Great Sage Frog and the man J-Man captured.

If you reread the manga where he captured this man it seems like he knows everything of Pain's past, etc.,

Also, if you notice his hair style is almost the exact same as Nagato when he was younger. The only main difference is that it is now blonde but hit goatee is black. Now you can see he could be dying his goatee but it would make more sense that was his natural hair color and he is dying his hair, possibly to remember his friend.

Could it be that he is Nagato and he wanted to get inside Konoha without causing an alarm and now the Six Paths of Pain are just a diversion to what is upcoming in the manga?

Sorry this is my first time really posting just like reading, hope I am not noobing up the forums!

i dont think that the guy u r saying is pein that guy almost got kill by konan and jiraiya katon jutsu and later he start running away from the battle and i think u r wrong the guy that jiraiya captured is the one he transform into a frog and the other guy was just a bait to lure pein out.

Well, its interesting theory, my problem with it is that everyone in that picture has a name and is not pain that we know of. As for the guy with the goatee.... i though he was just some shmuck. But, anything is possible i suppose

Ahhh yeah, see I stopped reading after he said he was going to send him back. Found a flaw but this could also lead to another point with this guy, Konan lets him go. No one really wonders where he went after this fight and it could be possible he is the "eyes" of Pain. Wouldn't be surprised if he was in Konoha now but I wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't. Just weird to have him in his thoughts when he was thinking of who Nagato or Pain really is. When all the pictures besides the Frog King are about his three other pupils.

If you actually read what Jiraiya says on that page, I get the impression that hes just remembering all the information that he's gotten so far, in other words what would seem to be important about the guy with the goatee is what he says rather than his appearance. What hits me as possible important images are the ones in the top left and bottom right. Maybe it has more to do with the frogs than we think?
